Those positions make sense for Dunnstral and Pine.
I do not understand your townread on Gamma Emerald. I liked 70 and 77. You initially mentioned your read of Gamma in 99; I can see a townread at that point. Has anything since then influenced it?

uh, to explain why i might feel/be acting different: it's more of a comfort thing than anything else? i feel at ease with the playerlist + the game as a whole right now so i'm more prone to like... be sort of chit-chatty and easygoing. it's probably not the best for like, finding scum but i'm also prioritizing my own enjoyment lmao. that and not having as much time as i would like to really go through this.
I need to work on my notoriety

In post 531, GuiltyLion wrote:as either alignment, it's these kinds of post I expect from Ydrasse, a bunch of references to things going on, several paragraphs with lots of different thoughts and points, and kind of a straightforward approach to arguing. The difference I'm feeling here is that I haven't seen these types of posts from Ydrasse yet really, she's posting more casually and friendly.
It might be her just feeling more comfortable on the site and letting more of her personality out, maybe emulating some other players she's seen/read (I kinda feel like she's channeling more of a skitter vibe in this game), but do you have a sense of the difference I'm trying to point to? I know I just lazily grabbed one post from each game but if you do an ISO dive you can see it, there's just a lot more to-the-point content, here it feels like she's more chatty and peppering her posts with exclamation points and faces
Yes, I can see a tonal difference between the posts you cited and here|Ydrasse.
Her explanation in 516 felt honest to me; it resonates with how I feel when I'm in a familiar playlist and/or an unusually good mood.
how good does your mood have to get for me to get memes

GuiltyLion's point on Ydrasse might not be good, but I believe he believes he's good, and his stock goes up. VOTE: Dunn
It's a little scummy for him to complain about just scumbinning all the lurkers although he'd maybe do that as town too. Dunn is kind of a lower quality d1 selection than an average one but lots of people seem townish.
I think he's slightly more likely to post a little less as scum, I don't know if he believes that about himself.

town!dunnstral could just stop lurking, scum!dunnstral risks exposing his alignment if he posts more. Pretty basic.

Farren asks a weird question over here because he's asking about this townread saying he doesn't understand it despite saying he liked and agreed with mentions of it precious.
GuiltyLion posts recently looked better to me so now I'll go for Dunnstral or Farren. To make things interesting I'll vote Farren. VOTE: Farren

I think that having a townread on Gamma at that point in the game made sense. Not having re-evaluated that town read between then and now is what I don't understand.

Weak as in kinda indicative but not really, or weak as in fundamentally bad?

Which is closer: "too scummy to be scum;" "doesn't care if he lives or dies?" Or are both wrong?

Haha that reminds me of one of my previous games with him. Even i was able to create a good enough scumcase for him to be elimed (he was town i was not)
The way I remember him, he starts with some early fluff, he chimes in on a few things, he doesn't have time to make big posts so he makes small ones, he gets mistaken for scum by some at first, but gets eliminated a bit further down the line
But I mean his scum game could also be the same i dont think I've seen him as scum-- id have to check. This game in particular, though..

I think GL is probably town, but actually maybe a little weaker than the other three.
In post 187, Dunnstral wrote:You put all the low posters in your null pile, which is actually just your scum pile but you're not calling it that
This combined with GL's scum in the actives comment made me wonder if there's an arsonist who felt the need to push back against Mena's early townlist. Dunn directly goes into a contrarian mode against Mena, whereas Guilty more subtlely implied there's scum in the active players (Mena was townreading almost all the activeish players).
I am curious as to why the only thing in the thread Dunn opted to comment at the time on was this. What made it the main thing that caught his eye, i mean. I'd like to talk about it more but I'm actually kind of missing what his point is too. What does putting the low posters in null and Farren in scum have to do with being opportunistic?

This feels like WIFOM!! But you're right
Dunn, although you may be correct that I should be one to notice you're gone -- what was the point of pointing it out in 411? Does it make you think im scummy? I struggle to find what the intention behind pointing it out was
Unless you're scum in which case it makes you look good in an indirect way. It's like a way to compensate for being inactive-- you point it out yourself before I or someone else does and it makes you look good for calling attention to something potentially scummy about yourself unprompted
we could talk about one of the bolded questions if you want..
